  1. 12. Contur Update
    Jonathan Butterworth (University College London (UK))
    03/04/2019, 14:00

    Particle-level measurements, especially of differential cross-sections, made in fiducial regions of phase-space have a high degree of model-independence and can therefore be used to give information about a wide variety of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics implemented in Monte Carlo generators, using a broad range of final states. The Contur package is used to make such comparisons. We...

  2. 5. Update on SModelS
    Dr Wolfgang Waltenberger (Austrian Academy of Sciences (AT))
    03/04/2019, 14:25

    SModelS is a tool to make systematic use of simplified models results. In this talk I shall briefly report on recent and ongoing developments of the tool.

  3. 14. The Search for Dark Matter at Colliders
    Mr Jonathan Costa
    03/04/2019, 14:50

    The nature of Dark Matter (DM) is one of the most pressing issues in contemporary physics. For over 80 years, astrophysical and cosmological observations have indicated its existence indirectly. If the DM is composed of weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs) that were in thermal equilibrium with Standard Model (SM) particles in the early Universe, freeze-out calculations suggest that the...

  5. 6. Calculating p-values for excesses in combinations of LHC searches
    Benjamin Farmer (Imperial College London)
    03/04/2019, 15:50

    Calculating p-values to quantify the statistical significance of any excesses in an individual LHC analysis is usually a routine task for LHC experimentalists, however theories of physics Beyond the Standard Model typically make predictions that are relevant to many LHC analyses at once. If excesses appear in several analyses it is thus of great importance to accurately assess their joint...

  6. 10. Deriving LHC constraints on the minimal Dirac gaugino model
    Sophie Williamson (LPTHE, Sorbonne Université)
    03/04/2019, 16:15

    Various MSSM scenarios have been well investigated at the LHC, with current bounds having implications on naturalness that suggest the timely consideration of non-minimal scenarios. The purpose of this talk is to present limits on the gluino (fermionic partner of the gluon) and squarks (scalar partners of the quarks) in the minimal Dirac gaugino extension of the MSSM, derived through a...

  7. 8. The Phenomenology of Vacuum decay with Vevacious: A companion to BSM collider constraints.
    Dr José Eliel Camargo Molina (Lund University)
    03/04/2019, 16:40

    In this talk, I will talk about the use of vacuum stability as a phenomenological constraint in BSM models, highlighting its complementarity with constraints coming from e.g. collider experiments. In the talk I will describe how to consider constraints from the decay to e.g. color- and charge- breaking minima at both zero and non-zero temperature in models with extended scalar sectors. I will...
